Exhaust

[looking for a skyline]

i went to an exhaust shop today and said that i wanted a an exhaust which sounds more than the stock R33. the guy there said that he had a recent swap of a japanese one. and showed a JASMA stamped exhaust(just the exhaust from the cat- not the whole system) and said that its real good and blah blah. he said that its worth $800 and i may have to buy a resonator as well which will cost $150 more. i m a bit new to skylines(just bought mine last week) but i was thinking that i can atleast get a decent catback system for about $800-$1000. am i wrong or the exhausts that expensive? by the way that guy was telling i felt he was trying to rip me off. any help will be appreiciated.

Simply look in the For Sale section - you'll soon see the price of 2nd hand exhausts

haha yeah thats a bit expensive.

i made my whole exhaust myself, bought some exhaust pipe and some bends, cut and welded it all together. not hard at all if you have some time and patience. only cost a few hundred for the whole thing.

Yeh mate, thats a bit on the expensive side, I got a full 3' system with split dump/front and a Jasma muffler on the end for only $150 off of the forum

jasma is not a brand

I received a full exhaust from the dump pipe to the cat, (already had cat back) custom fabricated 3 1/2 inch for $800 so that guy is pulling your leg.

JASMA is a specification like the Oz Standards (IIRC it means its under 92 db or something). I got a 5zigen twin muffler catback for 150 on fleabay, flows fine like the old one (straight through steam pipe no cat) and its cop friendly (though I can see myself removing a muffler one day cause it's almost TOO quiet)

I'd get a jap made exhaust, they are really well made and fit perfectly.
